Short filmTranscript
00:00I fought with wild dogs for food and prayed to them, but it was useless.
00:05And in the end, I still died.
00:07I was Manhattan's most spoiled heiress until my award-winning actor brother
00:11sent me to a reality show called Rich Girls Reformed.
00:15I slept in a pig pen covered in manure for three months, fighting dogs for scraps of food.
00:21Any resistance meant being dunked in water tanks or worse, electro tracks.
00:25The only thing keeping me alive was the mute old man who delivered the meals.
00:30He'd snuck me medicine, listened to me cry, and begged my brother to save me.
00:34He even promised to help me escape.
00:36I swore that once I got out, I'd tell my brother I'd learned my lesson.
00:41Until that day, when my high fever triggered a heart attack and I collapsed in the mud, convulsing.
00:46I saw the mute old man I'd clung to as my lifeline reach up and tear off his mud-caked
00:52wig and mask,
00:53revealing my fiancé's face.
00:56This is what you get for drugging Sophia, even if it was just a laxative.
01:01These three months in the pig pet should make up for the scare you gave her.
01:05Director cut the cameras. Sophia says she can't bear watching me act and suffer. She feels bad.
01:10I watched my fiancé walk away with his arm around the scholarship girl. My heart stopped beating.
01:16Sophia finally got what she wanted. From the moment we met, she made it clear.
01:21Girls like me didn't deserve what we were born into. Too rich. Too spoiled. Too empty-headed, in her words.
01:29One day, she said, she would take it all. And she did. It didn't take schemes or grand plans.
01:35Just two years of quiet performances. A stumble here. A trembling voice there. A well-timed tear.
01:42Every time, it ended the same. My brother at her side. My fiancé just behind him. Both looking at me
01:49like I was something rotten.
01:50All she ever had to do was make it seem like I hurt her. And really, who would believe otherwise?
01:55A rich heiress bullied by a scholarship girl who was gentle and hardworking? Of course not.
02:02In their eyes, it could only ever be the other way around. I floated above, looking down at myself lying
02:08in the filth, covered in pig shit, fingernails caked with mud.
02:12Cut! Perfect! Absolutely perfect! That dying look in her eyes is incredible! Quick, get a close-up!
02:21A dozen cameras instantly zoomed in on my face. A pair of fancy leather shoes stopped beside my face.
02:27Lucas Carter, my fiancé.
02:30Alright, stop pretending. The director called cut. Why are you still lying there? Getting addicted to acting?
02:35Seeing no reaction from me, he casually nudged my face with his foot. The corpse swayed with the force of
02:40his nudge, but didn't respond.
02:42Lucas frowned, then crouched down to check if I was still breathing.
02:46What the heck?!
02:49Vivian, are you holding your breath this long just to get sympathy?
02:53Looks like these three months in the pig pen weren't wasted. Your lung capacity's really improved.
02:58I'm not pretending! Lucas, I'm actually dead! Look at me!
03:05Don't be so harsh on her.
03:09She worked really hard this time to make it up to me.
03:13Look at her makeup. So dirty. If you didn't know better, you'd think she actually lived in the countryside.
03:18Applause came from your vibe. My brother, award-winning actor Ethan Ashford, emerged from behind the monitors.
03:26Not bad. These three months weren't wasted.
03:30Use this fake death scene in the trailer. Title it, The Mean Girl's Repentance.
03:36This final scene, she acted better than she ever has before. I almost believed it.
03:42Ethan, this isn't acting. I'm really in pain. I'm really, really dead.
03:50Mr. Ashford, should we wake Miss Ashford now?
03:55Don't let her bring those filthy clothes into my car. It's disgusting.
03:58Sophia hasn't been feeling well lately. She can't handle the smell.
04:02Then, find a trash bag. Throw her in the trunk.
04:05Since she likes playing dead so much, let her play dead all the way home.
04:08At least it'll spare me from listening to her fake crying.
04:12Yes, sir.
04:13I watched two stagehands lift my stiff corpse and stuff it into a trash bag.
04:18Lucas was wiping raindrops from Sophia's hair. He didn't look at me once.
04:22The trunk slammed shut. The car started. A trail of blood silently drenched the bag.
04:27I floated nearby, almost wanting to laugh. I remembered when I was 18, I accidentally bumped my head in the
04:34car.
04:34Ethan didn't say a word. He'd said,
04:38Why keep something that hurt our Vivian?
04:40But now, my corpse was being knocked around in the trunk.
04:44Ethan, were you acting back then too? Or is it that once Sophia appeared, your own sister deserved to be
04:50thrown away like this.
04:51Ethan, do you think Vivian will be mad at us for putting her in the trunk when she wakes up?
04:56Ethan drove with a cold snort.
04:58She doesn't get a choice.
05:01Once we're home, I have ways to keep her from throwing a tantrum.
05:05Tomorrow's apology press conference is already arranged.
05:08If she dares to mess it up, I'll send her right back to these mountains for another three months.
05:14She'd better know her place.
05:17Sophia was hospitalized for three days because of that laxative.
05:20These three months of suffering barely make up for it.
05:23I floated above the car, watching these three people.
05:26I never put laxatives in that drink.
05:29Sophia stole my heart medication, then accused me of trying to poison her.
05:33No one believed me, and I can't explain anymore.
05:36The car bumped along the road, my corpse rattling in the trunk the whole way.
05:40Ethan got out without calling the servants.
05:42He opened the trunk and grabbed the trash bag with one hand, dragging it out.
05:47My head hit each step as he dragged me up the stairs.
05:50My soul trembled.
05:51I reached out to protect my head.
05:53Ah!
05:54Ethan!
05:55Be gentle!
05:56That's my head!
05:58Really heavy.
06:00Playing dead pretty thoroughly.
06:01Not making a sound.
06:03He dragged the trash bag into the living room and dropped it on the rug.
06:06The zipper opened, revealing my mud-covered face.
06:09Eyes closed, lips purple.
06:11Alright, we're home.
06:14Stop pretending.
06:17Get up and wash yourself off.
06:19Don't dirty the carpet.
06:21Is she really unconscious?
06:23Her face looks so scary.
06:26That's special effects makeup.
06:28Weren't you there on set?
06:29She fakes passing out all the time to get out of work.
06:31The doctor said she's in perfect health.
06:33This level of cold won't kill her.
06:34Ethan lost his patience.
06:36He walked over to the thermostat and turned it down to the lowest setting.
06:39Want to play dead?
06:40Then lie there.
06:41No one gives her a blanket tonight.
06:43Let's see how long she can keep it up.
06:45With that, all three went to their rooms.
06:47Leaving only the cold air blowing over my corpse.
06:50I floated in mid-air, looking at my body lying alone on the floor.
06:54Watching the lividity spread across my neck and the back of my arms.
06:58Early in the morning, the Ashford family's styling team arrived.
07:02Today was the apology press conference Ethan had arranged for me.
07:05Live-streamed to the whole country.
07:07The makeup artist touched my hand.
07:09Oh, Jesus!
07:11I'm so cold!
07:12She looked at Sophia.
07:13Miss White, Miss Ashford's temperature?
07:15Is she really okay?
07:16Oh, she spent three months freezing in the mountains.
07:19Of course she's cold.
07:21Plus she trained herself to withstand cold for the pathetic effect.
07:25Don't make a fuss.
07:26Just put more blush on her.
07:28That complexion is awful.
07:30With these purple marks on her skin.
07:32Those are bruises from falling in the mountains.
07:34Cover them with foundation.
07:36Today's theme is rebirth.
07:38Don't let people see her looking like a corpse and embarrass the Ashford family.
07:41The makeup artist didn't dare argue.
07:43She grabbed concealer and started smearing it on my face.
07:46I watched from the side, finding it almost funny.
07:49Concealer could cover lividity, but not the smell of death.
07:53This outfit reeks.
07:54Change her clothes.
07:55Put her in this one.
07:56It was the style Sophia had rejected.
07:58A size too small.
08:00Two assistants came over to help change my clothes.
08:02But there was a problem.
08:04Because of rigor mortis, my limbs were stiff.
08:07Mr. Ashford, Miss Ashford is too stiff.
08:09She won't cooperate.
08:11Like, she is dead.
08:14She won't cooperate.
08:15We can't bend her arms.
08:16As Ethan's face darkened.
08:18Vivian!
08:19How long are you going to keep this up?
08:21Won't even put on clothes?
08:22Do you want to apologize naked?
08:23The corpse naturally didn't answer him.
08:26Lucas frowned and strode over.
08:28Since she wants to be stubborn, don't blame me for not being gentle.
08:32He grabbed my stiff left arm and yanked it outwards.
08:36I floated in midair, instinctively clutching my arm and screaming.
08:40Then I remembered.
08:41I was dead.
08:42My body couldn't feel pain anymore.
08:46Hmph.
08:47Strong grip.
08:49Playing the virtual Merton?
08:51Hurry up and dress her!
08:52The assistants trembled as they pulled the pink dress onto my corpse.
08:55To hide the twisted arm, they folded my hands across my abdomen.
08:59After all the manipulation, I'd been handled like a doll with no dignity.
09:03Lipstick covered my purple lips.
09:05Foundation hid my pallard.
09:06A ribbon bow concealed the dog collar marks on my neck.
09:10That's better.
09:11Looks like these three months weren't wasted.
09:13Knocked that nasty temper right out of her.
09:16As long as she doesn't talk, she's still the good little sister she used to be.
09:21When we get to the venue, if you dare mess up or say the wrong thing, I'll make sure you
09:26spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.
09:27Don't worry, Ethan.
09:29I'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life anyway.
09:32And I'll never speak again.
09:34Let's go.
09:35Don't keep the reporters waiting.
09:36The sunlight was blinding, but I felt no warmth.
09:38The ballroom backstage was packed with reporters.
09:41Sophia had changed into a white haute couture gown.
09:44She had the makeup artist give her a pitiful victim look.
09:47While Ethan and Lucas were schmoozing with the media, Sophia walked over to my wheelchair.
09:52Vivian, you're so quiet today.
09:55I like it.
09:56Didn't you love calling me a bitch before?
09:58Why so quiet now?
09:59Running out of energy?
10:01Don't worry.
10:01There's an even bigger surprise waiting for you on stage.
10:04Seeing no reaction from me, Sophia pouted.
10:07You can really take it.
10:08But I guess you should behave.
10:10You're about to lose your engagement anyway.
10:12Lose my engagement?
10:13I jerked my head up to look at Lucas.
10:15He was standing in the spotlight, turning to say something to Ethan.
10:18I floated over and heard it clearly.
10:20Today's perfect.
10:22With the live stream, the whole country can witness it.
10:25I'm cutting this stain loose, completely.
10:27Ethan was silent for a moment, glancing at me in the corner.
10:30She brought this on herself.
10:32I can't blame anyone else.
10:33My soul felt that sharp pain again.
10:35So, in your minds, I'm not even worth a title.
10:38I don't even deserve basic human dignity.
10:41Three, two, one, action.
10:44The spotlight came on.
10:45I was wheeled onto the stage.
10:47Because I was strapped in, I sat perfectly straight.
10:50That's the Ashford heiress?
10:51She looks like a model.
10:52Heard she slept in a pig pen for three months, probably brain damaged.
10:56They say she was so arrogant before, even drugged the scholarship girl.
10:58Those vicious whispers drilled into my ears, every single one.
11:01Ethan picked up the microphone, his face full of regret.
11:05Ladies and gentlemen of the press, everyone online, hello.
11:08I'm Ethan Ashfield.
11:09Today's live stream has only one purpose, repentance.
11:13My sister Vivian, out of jealousy and selfishness, caused tremendous harm to our company's artist, Sophia White.
11:18After three months of reconformation, she's deeply recognized her mistakes.
11:22Today, she's here in front of the entire country to apologize to Sophia.
11:26The comments exploded.
11:27Ethan Ashford standing up to family.
11:29So inspiring.
11:30This is proper elite family discipline.
11:33Ethan turned around, walked up to me, blocking half the cameras.
11:36With his back to the audience, he hissed.
11:39Stop playing dead.
11:42Speak.
11:43Tell everyone what you did wrong.
11:45I didn't respond.
11:46So he reached out and pinched the soft flesh of my arm.
11:49The corpse swayed with the force.
11:52Ethan, don't be like this.
11:53She's probably too ashamed to speak.
11:55It's okay.
11:56I forgive her.
11:57She picked up a glass of red wine and forced it into my broken hand.
12:03Vivian, drink this.
12:05And we'll still be sisters.
12:07The wine glass tilted.
12:08Wine falling into the dress.
12:10I'm sorry.
12:11Sophia looked hurt toward the camera.
12:13I guess she still won't forgive me.
12:16Too much.
12:17Sophia's being so humble and she's still putting on airs.
12:20This woman's hopeless.
12:21Mr. Ashford, send her to a psych room.
12:24Lucas took the microphone and strode to center stage, standing beside my wheelchair.
12:29Since Ms. Ashford insists on protesting with silence, I don't need to save face for you anymore.
12:36He pulled a velvet box from his pocket.
12:39For a moment, my heart flickered with hope.
12:41Was it our engagement ring?
12:43He opened the box.
12:44Inside was a brand new pink diamond ring.
12:46Lucas turned around, and in front of me, in front of tens of millions of viewers online, he knelt on
12:53one knee before Sophia.
12:55Ms. Sophia White, for the past three years, you've been by my side.
12:59Your kindness, your purity, that's what the lady of the Carter family should be like.
13:06This vicious, unrepentant woman who only knows how to put on an act doesn't deserve to enter the Carter family.
13:12Every word lashed my soul.
13:14He stood beside my corpse and proposed to another woman.
13:18He trampled my dignity into the dirt in front of the entire country, then ground it in deeper.
13:24Lucas!
13:25Lucas!
13:26The reporter started chanting.
13:27Lucas pulled out the simple engagement ring that had been mine.
13:30He casually tossed it.
13:32Clang!
13:32The ring fell into a nearby trash can.
13:35From today on, Sophia is my only fiancée.
13:37He took Sophia's hand and slid the pink diamond onto her finger.
13:41Then, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
13:46Three years ago, Lucas had knelt in the snow for three days and nights to propose to me.
13:53Vivian, this ring is my life.
13:55Once you wear it, my life belongs to you.
13:59Turns out your life is pretty worthless.
14:01After Sophia came along, you kept saying I'd changed.
14:04But I didn't change.
14:05You just gave her all the patience and love you used to give me.
14:08The ring in the trash, along with the Lucas who once said he loved me,
14:12both rotting here together.
14:14The number of online users is still rising and has already broken the platform record.
14:17The live stream had broken the platform's record for viewership.
14:20Carepash Carter Luca public.
14:22Carepash when Cooj refuses to apology.
14:24Ash when Sophia White takes over.
14:26All three hashtags instantly dominated the top trending topics.
14:37Move! Everyone move!
14:39Get out of my way!
14:42It was Dr. William, the Ashford family doctor.
14:45He'd watched me grow up.
14:46Dr. William?
14:47What are you doing here?
14:48Mrs. Ashford!
14:50She told me to check on Vivian!
14:51Why hasn't she moved at all?
14:53Is she sick?
14:54Sick?
14:55What sick?
14:56She's just pretending to sleep.
14:58I've seen this attention-seeking act a thousand times.
15:02Dr. William, don't let her fool you.
15:04Give her a shot and make her get up right now.
15:06Lucas, with his arm around Sophia, added,
15:09Perfect timing, Dr. William.
15:11Expose her act in front of everyone and let them see just how shameless this Miss Ashford
15:16can be clinging to an engagement.
15:18Dr. William froze, staring at the figure in the wheelchair.
15:22His face changed.
15:23I need to examine her first.
15:25Under pressure from Ethan and Lucas, Dr. William had no choice but to walk shakily onto the stage.
15:32Everyone waited to see the spectacle.
15:34To see the evil woman get jabbed with a needle and wake up humiliated.
15:38Dr. William approached the wheelchair and called out,
15:40No response.
15:42He reached out to feel the wrist resting on my abdomen.
15:44The moment he touched that ice-cold skin, his face turned white.
15:49His hands started trembling.
15:50He moved from the wrist to the pulse.
15:52No heartbeat.
15:53This, this, Dr. William couldn't believe it.
15:57What's wrong?
15:58Did you find her acting too convincing, even fooling you?
16:01Stop the act, Dr. William!
16:03Just give her the shot!
16:04Lost her voice?
16:05Speak!
16:05Tell everyone she's faking!
16:08Faking!
16:09She can't fake anymore!
16:11Mr. Ashfield!
16:12Mr. Carter!
16:13Can't you see?
16:15She's already dead!
16:19This is liberty!
16:21This is rigor mortis!
16:22You, you've been forcing a corpse to apologize this whole time!
16:26Dead?
16:27Dr. William, you've lost your mind.
16:30Lucas let go of Sophia's hand.
16:32Stop playing along with Vivian's sick games.
16:35Livesey?
16:36I think she just put on special effects makeup.
16:39Vivian, stop pretending!
16:40Get off!
16:41Don't touch her!
16:42Are you blind?
16:44Feel her hand?
16:45Look at her eyes!
16:47What living person looks like this?
16:50Dr. William's tears fell as he untied the bow at my neck with shaking hands.
16:54Under the bow, a circle of purple-black ligature marks around my neck.
16:59As the concealer rubbed off, slight, giant cell formation appeared on the side of my neck.
17:03A female reporter in the front row covered her mouth, dry heaving.
17:07The livestream chat exploded.
17:09Holy shit!
17:10That's actual lividity!
17:12I'm a forensic student, that's definitely not makeup!
17:15That neck!
17:16My god, what did she go through?
17:18Is Ethan insane?
17:19He made a corpse apologize on livestream!
17:22They killed her!
17:23The elites killed someone!
17:25Ethan stared at the black marks on my neck.
17:27No.
17:29Impossible.
17:31He staggered backwards, knocking over the champagne tower.
17:34She was alive yesterday!
17:36When I dragged her home yesterday, she groaned!
17:38I heard it!
17:38I really heard it!
17:39I floated above, watching him.
17:41Tears streaming, watching him.
17:43Ethan, that wasn't me groaning.
17:46That was the sound of air being forced from my lungs when my head hit the stairs.
17:50Someone call the police!
17:51Get an ambulance!
17:53Hurry!
17:53Workers sprang into action.
17:55Lucas, what do we do?
17:56If she's really dead, then we...
17:59Cut the livestream!
18:00Security!
18:01Get these reporters out!
18:02I dare anyone to move!
18:04Ethan Ashford, Lucas Carter, I think you need to come with us.
18:08He collapsed among the broken glass.
18:11He stared at my lifeless face, the sister he'd doted on for 20 years.
18:15Yesterday, he'd dragged her home like trash.
18:17Today, he'd forced her to kneel and apologize to someone else.
18:21And now the police were telling him she'd been dead all along.
18:24When the coroner took me away, Ethan tried to rush forward but was held back by two officers.
18:29Vivian! Vivian, don't sleep! I was wrong!
18:33Please open your eyes and look at me!
18:34My parents rushed back that night. When they saw the body in the morgue, my mom fainted on the spot
18:40and was rushed to the ER.
18:41Lucas and Sophia were detained in the interrogation room. The coroner paused, looking at Ethan.
18:47The deceased suffered severe external abuse. Stomach contents showed only small amounts of pig feed and mud.
18:53Most critically, we detected large quantities of powerful hallucinates in the deceased system.
18:58This drug makes people feel pain magnified ten times while conscious.
19:02The deceased died of a heart attack caused by long-term malnutrition, extreme physical abuse, and massive doses of hallucinarians.
19:11Ethan's head snapped up. Blood shot eyes wide.
19:14What did you say? Hallucinotics?
19:16Yes. That's why her acting seemed so real when she was being tortured. Because she was really in pain. In
19:22so much pain, she wanted to die, but didn't even have the strength to beg. What you thought was acting
19:27was her instinct to survive in hell.
19:31Ethan rushed to the toilet, violently vomiting bile.
19:39He remembered those three months. He'd sat behind the monitors, watching me convulse in the mud pit. Watching me get
19:47dunked in water tanks until I couldn't breathe.
19:50What had he been doing then? He'd been laughing. He'd clinked glasses with Lucas and said,
19:59Finally knocked some sense into the brat.
20:03She was just too spoiled before.
20:07Turns out it wasn't being spoiled.
20:10It was pain magnified ten times over.
20:14It was also this.
20:16The captain walked in with a USB drive.
20:18We found this in the director's safe when we searched the production company for the unedited raw footage.
20:23Mr. Ashford, you might want to brace yourself.
20:26The projector turned on, casting images on the white wall.
20:30The screen showed a mountain pig pen.
20:33The instructor poured spoiled rice on the ground and stepped on it.
20:37Eat.
20:39Ms. Ashfield, isn't this how you used to feed stray dogs? You can give it a try today.
20:44I was chained by the neck, crawling on the ground.
20:46I was so delirious with hunger, I crawled over and licked the rice off the ground with my tongue.
20:52The instructor laughed and kicked me in the ribs.
20:55That's disgusting.
20:57If that Ethan saw you like this, his face would surely turn green.
21:01Ethan gripped the table edge so hard his nails broke off, blood dripping.
21:05The scene changed to Sophia.
21:07She wore a hazmat suit, holding a paddle rod.
21:09Vivian, this electric current is a bit strong. Try to bear it, okay?
21:13I can hold the violence, foaming at the mountain, Sophia smiled.
21:18Oh Lucas, look how beautifully she dances.
21:20Record it, send it to that idiot Ethan. Tell him she's practicing break dancing.
21:25Lucas patted her head.
21:27As long as you're happy, play however you want.
21:30Ethan signed the liability waiver anyway.
21:32As long as she doesn't die, any torture counts as program content.
21:35The final scene showed my last moments before death.
21:38Ethan dropped to his knees, hands over his head, wailing.
21:43He'd lost his mind.
21:44He'd personally sent his sister to hell.
21:47Not only had he signed the waiver, he'd provided all the funding.
21:50He was the murderer.
21:52When police were clearing out my belongings, they found something hard in the lining of my cotton coat.
21:58It was a small recording pen, wrapped in three layers of plastic bags, and sewn into the deepest part of
22:04the garment.
22:05The detective captain pressed play in front of Ethan and my parents, who had just regained consciousness.
22:10After a crackling sound, Lucas and Sophia's voices came through.
22:14Sophia.
22:15Lucas, why won't she just die already? We already doubled the dose.
22:20Be patient. Once she's dead, the inheritance goes to Ethan.
22:24Then we follow the plan.
22:25What plan?
22:26The recording continued with Lucas's voice.
22:28That idiot Ethan sure is ruthless with his sister.
22:30Once Vivian dies, go comfort Ethan through his grief for a few days.
22:33Then slip him some slow-acting neurotoxic.
22:35It's tasteless and odorless.
22:36It'll just make him look like he had a mental breakdown since the grief.
22:39Aw, that's so sad.
22:42But for the Ashford family's billions, we'll have to sacrifice Ethan.
22:46He's just an actor anyway.
22:48He has no clue how to run a business.
22:50The Ashford empire will be ours.
22:53As long as we get Vivian to sign that post to be a stock transfer, then he becomes useless.
22:58I pretended to be the mute old man to give her hope, just to watch her fall from heaven into
23:02hell.
23:02I'm sorry.
23:03That's the fun part.
23:05The sound of kissing came through the recording.
23:07You are still the smart one.
23:09That frame job was brilliant.
23:10Taking laxatives to frame Vivian, that turned Ethan the sister conflict into our knife.
23:14If Vivian knew her brother sent her to die just to defend you, she'd never forgive him even as a
23:18ghost.
23:19Sorry!
23:20My dad clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and glassed.
23:24What a disaster!
23:26We invited wolves into our home.
23:29Invited wolves!
23:30Mom pounded on Ethan.
23:32It was you!
23:33You killed Vivian!
23:35She was protecting you!
23:37She stayed there to get evidence!
23:39You monster!
23:40Give me back my daughter!
23:42Ethan let mom beat him.
23:44He'd thought I was evil, jealous of Sophia.
23:47He'd thought he was educating me, reforming me.
23:51In reality, I was trading my life for a chance to expose their true faces.
23:57During those three months, every time they stepped on my face, every time Sophia jabbed me with the cattle prod,
24:04I repeated to myself,
24:06Hold on, Vivian.
24:08Just hold on.
24:09Once you get the recording, Ethan will be safe.
24:13I did it.
24:14I protected my brother.
24:16I protected the Ashford family.
24:19The price was rotting in the dirt.
24:21Treated like garbage by the person I loved most.
24:24I'm a monster.
24:26Ethan suddenly started laughing.
24:28Laughing while crying.
24:29He grabbed the fruit knife from the table and stabbed it toward his neck.
24:33Stop him!
24:34The captain shouted and knocked the knife away.
24:37Ethan collapsed on the floor, slapping himself over and over.
24:41Don't stop me.
24:42Let me die.
24:43Let me go apologize to Vivian.
24:46Let me die.
24:47Die?
24:49Death would be too easy for you.
24:51Your sister gave her life to protect the Ashford family.
24:55Instead of figuring out how to defend it and make the killers pay, you just want to die?
25:00Ethan Ashford.
25:01That life of yours belongs to your sister.
25:04You have to live with it and suffer.
25:07The evidence was irrefutable.
25:10When Sophia was arrested, she fought desperately.
25:13I'm innocent.
25:15Lucas forced me to do everything.
25:17I'm a victim.
25:18I have a heart condition.
25:19You can't arrest me.
25:21Heart condition?
25:22Ethan pulled out a document.
25:23Sophia White, your medical records from abroad show your heart is stronger than a bull's.
25:30Your so-called congenital myocarditis was completely fabricated for sympathy.
25:36Sophia's face went deathly pale.
25:38No.
25:39Ethan, let me explain.
25:42Don't call me that.
25:44Ethan's voice was hoarse.
25:46You don't deserve it.
25:47And that laxative.
25:48Ethan threw a restored surveillance video in her face.
25:51The footage showed Sophia putting laxatives in the yogurt herself, then drinking it.
25:56Vivian never tried to hurt you.
25:58Never.
25:59Each word was agonizing for Ethan.
26:01You were always the one hurting her.
26:03And I, I was your accomplice.
26:05Ethan suddenly reached out and grabbed Sophia by the throat.
26:08Help.
26:09Help.
26:10Sophia rolled her eyes, clawing at Ethan's hands.
26:13Police rushed forward and pulled Ethan off.
26:15Mr. Ashford, the law will judge her.
26:18You can't take matters into your own hands.
26:20Sophia collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
26:23Hair disheveled, makeup smeared.
26:25She was handcuffed and dragged to the police car.
26:28Before getting in, a rotten egg hit her face.
26:31It was thrown by one of Ethan's fans who used to curse me endlessly.
26:35Give Vivian Ashford back!
26:37You witch!
26:38Sophia screamed as she was taken away.
26:41Waiting for her was a murder conviction and the death penalty.
26:44To save the family business, Lucas' father issued an overnight statement disowning his son and freezing all of Lucas' assets.
26:52But that wasn't enough.
26:53Ethan used every connection he had to get Lucas sent to the most violent cell block in detention.
26:58And he told the cell boss,
27:00This man loves abusing women and making people eat rotten food.
27:03On Lucas' first day inside, he was forced to eat a bucket of food scooped from the toilet.
27:09When he refused, they broke two of his ribs.
27:12He tried to call for help, but his voice had been poisoned mute.
27:15Ethan had sent in the extra meal.
27:17Just like the mute old man Lucas had pretended to be on the show, this time he really became mute.
27:23On trial day, Lucas was carried into court.
27:26He was skeletal.
27:27Old injuries layered with new ones.
27:29Seeing Ethan in the gallery, his eyes showed beating.
27:32He opened his mouth wide, making ABBA ABBA sounds.
27:35But no one could understand.
27:37The judge announced the verdict.
27:39The defendant, Lucas Carter, with multiple counts, is sentenced to death with immediate execution.
27:44Hearing death penalty, Lucas' eyes rolled back and he wet himself.
27:49He was dragged out.
27:50Before execution, Ethan requested one final visit.
27:53Through the glass, Ethan held up my portrait.
27:56In the photo, I smiled brightly, eyes full of light.
27:59Vivian says she doesn't forgive you.
28:01Ethan looked into Lucas' terrified eyes, enunciating each word.
28:05She says hell is too cold.
28:07She wants you to go down there and be her dog.
28:10Lucas kowtowed frantically, head bleeding.
28:12But Ethan simply turned and left.
28:14In that moment, Lucas finally understood despair.
28:18Lucas died.
28:19Sophia got life imprisonment.
28:21The Ashford family built a memorial garden for me on the Mountain Village site.
28:25They planted it full of sunflowers I loved.
28:27Award-winning actor Ethan Ashford retired at his career peak and disappeared from public view.
28:33He moved into the basement of the mansion.
28:35It had been renovated into a one-to-one replica of the pig pen.
28:39Late at night, he would hallucinate.
28:41To experience my pain, he even injected himself with the same hallucinogens.
28:46Vivian.
28:47He murmured in his dreams.
28:49Forehead drenched in cold sweat.
28:51Body convulsing in pain.
28:53It hurts so much.
28:55It hurts this much.
28:57How did you bear it?
28:59How did you bear it?
29:00He reached out, grasping at empty air, trying to grab my hand.
29:05I shouldn't have sent you away.
29:07I deserve to die.
29:09I watched his increasingly gaunt face.
29:12Watched the white hair appearing at his temples.
29:15I sighed.
29:16Ethan, I don't hurt anymore.
29:19Really.
29:19I tried to reach out, to smooth his furrowed brow.
29:23The instant my fingertips touched his forehead, Ethan's eyes snapped open.
29:29He stared at the empty space where I floated, his gaze focusing.
29:34Vivian, is that you?
29:35I only got four morning, I fell up, even aỚ unser'.
29:36I don't know today.
29:36I was shocked and I was just surprised, haven't you Tracking off but…
29:36So they're empty.
29:36I know this comment.
29:36I lost you.
